Will Sony's Lack of a Conference Matter at Gamescom Next Week?

"Gamescom begins next week in Cologne. In recent years, the event has earned something of a reputation as the European E3, with major announcements from Sony, Microsoft and various third parties making the headlines. Indeed, last year's event drew in 335,000 attendees versus E3's 48,900 a fact closely associated with its open-doors policy regarding public entry. It's a large event, and being so close to the hectic winter release window, Gamescom is a big deal in the industry. It seems strange, then, that Sony won't be delivering a conference at this year's event, leaving the floor open for Microsoft to capitalize. Is this a dangerous move on Sony's part? There's a lot to consider before this question can be answered. -- PlayStation Enthusiast
